2. Going to the doctor’s
Scene: Tom feels unwell, so he goes to see his GP, Dr Collins:
Dr Collins:

Good morning. Hello Tom. How are you doing?

Tom:

I’m OK. Well, not very good really.

Dr Collins:

What can I do for you?

Tom:

I feel terrible. I think it might be hay-fever, but I’ve never had it before.
Whenever I go outside my eyes start itching and I almost feel like I’m
crying. My nose hasn’t stopped running for about a week. Do you think
it is hay-fever?

Dr Collins:

Have you ever suffered from these symptoms before?

Tom:

No. I don’t usually get it like this. It’s just started getting bad recently.

Dr Collins:

Have you got a high temperature as well?

Tom:

Not really. But I feel sleepy, and like I’ve almost got a cold coming on.

Dr Collins:

I can give you some anti-histamine tablets. They’ll make you feel a bit
more like yourself, and less drowsy.

Tom:

Thank you.

Dr Collins:

Obviously, avoid going to places where there’s likely to be a high pollen
count. Gardens, parks, and so on.

Tom:

But do you think it is hay-fever?

Dr Collins:

Yes. It does look like it, I’m afraid. The anti-histamines will help a lot.

Take two tablets twice a day, after eating. Come back and see me if
things don’t improve. OK? Is everything else alright at the moment?

Tom:

Yes. It’s just the - well, it’s probably the hay-fever that’s making me feel
so awful. Thanks then.

Dr Collins:

OK. All the best. Make another appointment if the tablets don’t help.

Tom:

Thanks a lot.

Dr Collins:

Can you ask the next patient who’s waiting to come in please?
